This is a great everyday wine that is fruit forward with a velvety finish. A hint of herbaceousness gives it some additional character. Considering the price you gotta be pleased with this wine.

OPened and poured a glass immediately. Seemed slightly vegetal at first but went away after about 10-15 minutes. Very easy drinking , minimally complexity and not a huge fruit bouquet. Not a bad finish with just enough tannins to make it work . I do not drink alot of central coast wines ( california) so i am not sure what the benchmark is for Merlot / Cab bordeaux style wines.

Better than expected. Firm tannins and noticeable acidity. Muted nose and monolithic flavor profile.

Very good Merlot with lots of bright fruit with some spiciness and smooth tannins. This one is ready to drink up now.
